If you are like many families around America who want to be able to accommodate extended family members whenever there is a family function or gathering, but you don1t have the luxury of having a guest room, then a sofa sleeper may just be the solution you have been looking for.

While it is true that a heavy sleeper mattress might make it difficult to get out of the sofa, you should really look at the mechanisms that bring the sofa out. Make sure that they move easily and smoothly. If your sofa sleeper is very heavy, then you may need to ask a few friends or even hire a few people to help you move it. You should definitely have a back-up plan in place if this happens to you.
